Writers, your opinion on ODesk

I have gotten a few gigs through Odesk over the past year I have been on there. I have found it hard to find ones even worth my time, as the pay is often such a joke for the amount of work that goes into it, but the few I have ended up with have been enjoyable.

Your experience there depends on your buyer. Odesk is merely the place where buyers and providers (you) get together. Odesk has certain rules and stipulations, and they police up to a point, but it's mainly between you and whoever hires you. Check out their rating, because that's where you'll find out how trustworthy they are. When you are hired, and do the job, you rate the buyer as to how he pays, his expectations, his responses and so forth. He also does the same to you. By checking his rating, you'll see how others who worked for him felt about his jobs. I've noticed a lot of the jobs posted there seem to be wanting blog postings. Basically, they want to pay you pennies to produce a blog they can capitalize on. Or so it seems to me. That isn't Odesk's fault. They only provide a place for buyers and providers to meet.

Hello. I have been writing artciles, stories, and reviews for a number of websites. They are wworking quite well. I don't know "ODesk". This is the first time I heard of it. So, I cannot give any comments on that. But, I will surely take a look at it, and see how it works. I will give my feed-back after I try it out. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I tried signing up for that one time. it just seemed so confusing I didn't want to persist with it. I just can't give you any feed back about it because I just really don't know what I am going to do in terms of working on it. I don't really think it is for me. I just think that someone should be able to take advantage of it though.
